Setting or Changing Group Properties
Group properties apply to the set of replications within the group. You can edit these properties via the Group Properties dialog.

From the right mouse button menu, choose Group Properties... .
In the Group Properties dialog, modify the properties as needed.

Setting or Changing Replication Properties for a Group
Grouping replications allows you to set replication properties (scheduling and preferences) for all replications in the group at the same time. If you first create a group then create each replication in the group, you only need to set replication properties once for the group. You can also create replications first, then add replications to the group. However, any settings for the replication you are adding will be overridden by the group replication settings.
To change replication settings for a group:
In the Metadata Explorer, select the group.
From the right mouse button menu, choose Edit Replications.
In the Replication Properties dialog, modify the properties as needed.
Click OK.
